I plan to keep mine for the rest of my life and one day get a EVO X or EVO XI or who knows EVO XII.

 

Im still confused in what i wana do. One day i love my car and the next day i hate it, LOL!! We'll see what happens. I might just keep it and get another car for daily driver

 

Well I just got mine, and I haven't held onto to a car for over a year in a while (this is my 5th car in 3 years). But I do hope to stay satisfied with the IX and keep for a long time.

 

I also just bought mine. Best car I have ever owned, and like Juice above, I have had alot of cars. Maybe one day my 1yr old boy can sell it and get some $$$$, when he's like 30

 

After I get my evo IX I will have two cars that I will be keeping until they are ripped from my garage.

I guess I get attached to cars, but then again I only buy special cars to begin with

ITR and EVO IX are going to be great stable mates ....the ITR is jealous of the newcomer though. Less money for the itr and the evo is going to get a host of goodies right off the bat.

 

lol! WERD!!! I love my car, and waited a LONG time to finally get one. I picked it up this past January, and plan on keeping it for a very long while. I've had my Eclipse GST for 6yrs, so I can only imagine how long the Evo will last!

Mitsu stopping production is more of a reason to keep it...4G63 forever baby!

 

no im not keeping my evo because i never had one to begin with. heh

 

+1

 

me too, this is my 6th car lol! Every car that ive had lasts either 6months or exactly one year, this month is the 1 year for my Evo and still have it, its a miracle!

 

Congrats on lasting the year!!!!! LOL

 

I'm afraid this thread may yield skewed results due to the somewhat confrontational culture of the forum. I applaud KOEvo's honesty and I can't help thinking there are a lot more folks like him who are not commenting.

Generally, the bulk of the postings on EvoM seem to come from lifestyle buyers. The lifestyle buyer is relatively young, thrives on the Evo's street cred, concerned with fitting in, impressing his friends and being noticed, measures his success in the Stoplight Grand Prix or in a no-skill contest of stupidity like a highway pull, likes the bragging rights associated with high horsepower numbers, and tends to mod his car cosmetically as per the status quo in his community.

The congnitive dissidence (if you will) that comes into pay stems from the Evo not being an overly inviting vehicle for those who don't necessarily savor its high-performance attributes and the resulting dynamics. Meaning, the Evo's performance dominates all other facets of its operation, which are geared to (errr...) high-performance. This includes the sparse interior, the suspension tuning, etc. Once the trendiness of the Evo wears-off, those cars will be replaced with something different.

 

I made the mistake of trading in my 92 gsx and regret it to this day. I won't make that mistake again...

keeping it until they stop producing gas

 

i will be keeping mine, since back in the day when i first got into the import scene. i always wanted a nice sport car that takes well to mods and what not. i bought an acura rsx when i began my import luv and it just wasnt what i was thinking it was going to be. i kept her for almost the full 4 years after i started my new job i started researching like crazy. i purchased my evo and since day one i couldnt be any happier. this car will surely be staying in my driveway.

 

I think the MR is a keeper. Hoping to hold on to it for at least five years. It's truly a great daily driver!
